Ghast Autopilot
by Smootheez
Ghast Autopilot lets a player switch on autopilot while riding a Happy Ghast, so the ghast keeps flying without the forward key held down.
What it does
A rider who would otherwise hold the forward key to keep a Happy Ghast moving can turn autopilot on instead. The default key is B, and the key can be reassigned in the controls settings. The mod also lets a player set a destination with a command using X and Z coordinates, with an optional Y value that the command ignores, and clear that destination when it is no longer needed.
Settings such as the autopilot behavior and how destinations are handled can be changed in-game through Mod Menu or by editing the configuration file by hand. Ghast Autopilot requires Fabric API and Smoothiez Api, which must be installed alongside it. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, is published for Fabric alone, and has six release versions for the newest game releases.
Key features
Autopilot while riding
Activating autopilot lets the Happy Ghast fly on its own, so the rider can relax instead of holding the forward key.
Destination command
A command sets where the ghast flies, using X and Z coordinates, and a second command clears the destination.
Reassignable activation key
The autopilot toggle sits on B by default, and the controls screen lets players bind it to another key.
Configurable behavior
Autopilot behavior and destination handling can be adjusted in-game or in the configuration file.
